In the early 1930's Bud Sagendorf was a teenage assistant to original Popeye cartoonist E.C. Segar on his Thimble Theatre and Sappo comic strips. After Segar's death in 1938, Sagendorf illustrated marketing materials for King Features, eventually moving on to creating Popeye comic books starting in 1945.

Thanks, Sherm. I sure do like Sagendorf. His comic books were never genius (Segar, sigh) but they were so good and likable. Supposedly he retold some of the big Segar Popeye adventures for Dell comic books. I'd love to see those some day.
